Get over the hump on humpday with a beautiful after-work hike to Sunset Rock on Lookout Mountain. We will begin at the parking area just before the Nature Center, and hike approx. 2 miles. This is an uphill hike most of the way and has some significant elevation gain, so be prepared. I plan on doing this hike every Wednesday (weather permitting) for a while, so if you can't make this one, there's always next week!

We will meet at the parking area on Garden Rd, on the right just before getting to the Nature Center and Reflection Riding. Garden Rd is off Cummings Highway in Tiftonia. If you take the Brown's Ferry exit from I-24, turn left on Brown's Ferry Rd, then left onto Cummings Hwy, right on Old Wauhatchie and then right on Garden Rd. If you're coming from downtown/St. Elmo, take Broad Street past Walgreen's and under the train overpass, and this becomes Cummings Hwy; Old Wauhatchie will be on your left, then Garden Rd will be on your right. If you need any assistance with directions, feel free to contact me via email. You can see a great map here:

The parking area is where the Kiddie Trail starts, which is where we will begin the hike.
